THE VIEW

Welcome to the first edition of The View for 2022 Finally, we would like to welcome you back to our auction rooms – in the physical sense. After two years of auctioneering to computer screens and an empty room, we are immensely excited about opening the doors to the public once again for the two auctions in this publication. Ben Rogers Jones

The other change is that on this occasion the two auctions are to be held over two days instead of one, due to The Welsh Sale being a formidable 600+ lots. It is the largest Welsh Sale we will have brought you for some time. The picture section in this Welsh Sale is relatively normal in size, but the auction has been bolstered by a large section of Welsh porcelain and a large section of antiquarian books.

Bidding in the room

The logical outcome for us was to separate The Welsh Sale into two days. We will be selling the pictures on Saturday, March 12th (as normal and as earlier publicized). But the remainder of the Welsh Sale auction, comprising Welsh ceramics and books together with a small section of Welsh antiques, will be held on Wednesday, March 16th. After the final lot in The Welsh Sale is offered on the 16th, we will hold the Selections & Collections auction.

We greatly appreciate your continued custom over these two difficult years. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our teams in Colwyn Bay, Carmarthen, and Cardiff for their amazing efforts during this period.

Each bidding session is open to the public, but please note and adhere to the following terms and policies set out on this page. Of course, bidding online and on the phone continues, and there is no surcharge to bid on our own website, or on the phone. We are immensely pleased with the high-quality entries which populate both auctions across the two days. We thank all the vendors for their custom and thank all bidders for their continued support. Best Wishes Ben Rogers Jones

From the outset we felt that the correct procedure was to keep the auctions closed to the public to protect everyone. It appears we are at that point now when we can safely open fully although we remain cautious and continue to monitor the situation. As with many businesses, we have adapted our methods during the pandemic and many of those adaptions have resulted in improved service and will remain in the future. The two auctions held over two days and contained within this catalogue will have bidding in the room with the following terms for those room bidders: •

Room bidders are requested to take lateral flow tests prior to the auction they wish to attend

•

Successful room bidders are required to pay by chip and pin (debit card not credit card)

•

Successful room bidders are required to pay and collect on the day of the auction to avoid return visits (unless otherwise arranged beforehand with the office)

•

Cash is no longer accepted

•

All visits to the auction rooms are by scheduled appointment (except for room bidding)

•

Collections for online and absentee bidders is from Monday 14 March ONLY and after payment has been made by bank transfer

•

Viewing / browsing is by scheduled appointment only

•

Viewing on the auction day is unavailable unless prearranged with the office for specific lots

•

Room bidders are requested to sit in the chairs provided within the auction room, wherever possible. Please do not stand unnecessarily in other areas or block entrances

•

There are no restrictions to the number of room bidders, but Rogers Jones reserve the right to deny access in the unlikely event that the auction room is deemed too busy

Bidders not in the room must pay online and collect purchases by scheduled appointment only

BWRW GOLWG

Croeso i rifyn cyntaf Bwrw Golwg yn 2022 O’r diwedd, rydym yn barod i’ch croesawu’n ôl i’n hystafelloedd arwerthu – yn y cnawd. Wedi dwy flynedd o gynnal arwerthiannau o flaen sgriniau cyfrifiaduron ac ystafell wag, rydym yn teimlo cyffro mawr wrth baratoi i agor y drysau i’r cyhoedd unwaith eto ar gyfer y ddau arwerthiant sydd yn y cyhoeddiad hwn. Y newid arall ydy y bydd y ddau arwerthiant yn cael eu cynnal dros ddau ddiwrnod oherwydd bod 600 a mwy o eitemau yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Dyma’r Arwerthiant Cymreig mwyaf y byddwn ni wedi’i gynnig i chi ers ei sefydlu. Wrth lwc, mae’r adran darluniau yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn o faint sy’n agos i’r arfer, ond mae adran sylweddol o borslen Cymreig ac adran fawr o lyfrau hynafol wedi cyfrannu at dwf sylweddol yr arwerthiant. Y canlyniad rhesymegol i ni oedd rhannu’r Arwerthiant Cymreig yn ddau ddiwrnod. Byddwn ni’n gwerthu’r darluniau ddydd Sadwrn, Mawrth 12fed (fel arfer ac fel y cyhoeddwyd yn gynharach). Ond bydd gweddill yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, sy’n cynnwys serameg Cymreig a llyfrau ynghyd ag adran fechan o hen bethau Cymreig, yn cael ei gynnal ddydd Mercher, Mawrth 16eg. Yn dilyn yr eitem olaf yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig ar yr 16eg, byddwn yn cynnal yr arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau. Mae pob un o’r sesiynau arwerthu ar agor i’r cyhoedd heb gyfyngiadau, ond gofynnwn yn garedig i chi nodi a chadw at y telerau a’r polisïau canlynol a amlinellir ar y dudalen hon. Wrth gwrs, bydd cynigion ar-lein a thros y ffôn yn parhau, ac nid oes tâl ychwanegol am roi cynigion ar ein gwefan ein hunain, na thros y ffôn. Rydym yn hynod falch o ansawdd uchel yr eitemau a gynigir yn y ddau arwerthiant dros y ddau ddiwrnod. Hoffem ddiolch i’r holl werthwyr am ddefnyddio’n gwasanaeth ac i’r holl gynigwyr am eu cefnogaeth gyson. Cofion Gorau

Gosod cynigion yn yr ystafell Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i chi am barhau i ddefnyddio’n gwasanaeth dros y ddwy flynedd anodd diwethaf. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn hefyd i ddiolch i’n timau ym Mae Colwyn, Caerfyrddin, a Chaerdydd am eu hymdrechion anhygoel dros y cyfnod hwn. O’r dechrau, roeddem yn teimlo mai’r peth iawn i’w wneud oedd cadw’r arwerthiannau ar gau i’r cyhoedd er mwyn amddiffyn pawb, nes bod y canllawiau’n newid, a than y cyfnod tua diwedd y pandemig. Mae’n edrych yn debyg ein bod wedi cyrraedd y man hwnnw nawr, er ein bod yn parhau’n wyliadwrus ac yn dal i fonitro’r sefyllfa. Fel y mae nifer o fusnesau wedi gwneud, rydym wedi addasu ein ffyrdd o weithio yn ystod y pandemig ac mae llawer o’r addasiadau hynny wedi arwain at well gwasanaeth a byddant yn parhau i’r dyfodol. Bydd modd gosod cynigion yn yr ystafell yn y ddau arwerthiant a gynhwysir yn y catalog hwn gyda’r telerau canlynol ar gyfer y rhai sy’n gosod cynigion yn yr ystafell: •

Gofynnir i’r rhai sydd am osod cynigion yn yr ystafell wneud profion llif unffordd cyn yr arwerthiant y maent am ei fynychu

•

Bydd angen i’r rhai sy’n llwyddo gyda chynigion yn yr ystafell dalu gyda cherdyn sglodyn a rhif adnabod (cerdyn debyd, nid cerdyn credyd)

•

Bydd angen i’r rhai sy’n llwyddo gyda chynigion yn yr ystafell dalu a chasglu ar ddiwrnod yr arwerthiant er mwyn osgoi ailymweld (oni bai y gwneir trefniant gwahanol ymlaen llaw gyda’r swyddfa)

•

Ni dderbynnir arian parod mwyach

•

Rhaid i bob ymweliad â’r ystafelloedd arwerthu fod drwy apwyntiad wedi’i drefnu (yr unig eithriad fydd ar gyfer gwneud cynigion mewn arwerthiannau ble derbynnir cynigion yn yr ystafell)

•

Dim ond trwy apwyntiad wedi’i drefnu y gellir dod i weld yr eitemau

•

Ni ellir dod i weld yr eitemau ar fore’r arwerthiant oni bai bod trefniadau wedi’u gwneud gyda’r swyddfa ymlaen llaw ar gyfer eitemau penodol

•

Gofynnir i’r rhai sydd am osod cynigion yn yr ystafell eistedd yn y cadeiriau a ddarperir yn yr ystafell arwerthu pryd bynnag y bo modd. Gofynnwn yn garedig i chi beidio â sefyll mewn mannau eraill os nad oes rhaid na rhwystro mynedfeydd

•

Nid oes cyfyngiadau ar niferoedd y cynigwyr yn yr ystafell, ond mae Rogers Jones yn cadw’r hawl i wrthod mynediad os gwelir bod yr ystafell arwerthu’n rhy brysur, er bod hynny yn annhebygol

REVIEW The Welsh Sale 6 November 2021 Lots: 496 Sold: 451 (90.9%) Total: £499,020 (a record for a Welsh Sale)

The work on paper of a group of horses in the snow was the cause of a good old fashioned auction house battle between phone bidder and internet bidder. The determined phone bidder stayed in the saddle and the picture is now stabled within a west Wales private collection. (4) Other notable prices in this section were seen for work by the perennially popular artist, William Selwyn. Born in Caernarfon, after completing National Service in 1954 William Selwyn went to Bangor Normal College and then became an art teacher at two Caernarfon schools - Maesincla Primary School and Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen Comprehensive. William retired from teaching in 1990 and took up painting full-time.

Welsh Antiques & Welsh Pottery The final Welsh Sale in November began with 100 lots of interesting Welsh pottery and porcelain. On this occasion it was Ewenny which stole the headlines, most notably the Ewenny wassail bowl (1) which sold for £6,400 against an estimate of £2,000-3,000 while an Ewenny parrot realised a hammer price of £1,300 against a £200-300. (2) The term Ewenny pottery refers to a scattered source of production in and around the Ewenny parish near Bridgend, rather than one specific pottery operation. The area has been associated with pottery production for centuries.

Prints & Works on Paper

2 6

Sir Kyffin Williams stole the show in these two sections. The highest ever hammer price for a Kyffin print and a work on paper was recorded at £2,600 and £18,000 respectively. The linocut print was a familiar waterfall scene, but it was a larger format than usual, and the former owner had framed it in a high quality Bourlet-made frame. Even so, the waterfall created a huge splash at £2,600 and going to show how strong the market is currently for ‘Kyffin prints’. (3)

He is best known as a watercolourist and his style is characterised by atmospheric washes of paint which reminds many of JMW Turner’s turbulent scenes, and similarly his landscapes often incorporate the weather as an important element to the picture, while the demonstration of movement is critical in his figure studies. Lot 300 which sold for £3,700 against an estimate of £1,000-1,200, was one such study, with a standing farmer being admired by his loyal sheepdog. (5)

Oil Paintings The fabulous market for Sir Kyffin Williams RA continued into the oil section with five super paintings finding new homes. The highest hammer price for the day was the oil of waves at Llangwyfan at £48,000. Such sunsets and dramatic seas are very much top of the wish-lists when it comes to Sir Kyffin’s body of work. (6) Next best price of the day was for Sir Kyffin’s ‘Storm at Penmon’ at £40,000 which was another dramatic and large canvas of Ynys Mon, third in line was an upright format village, titled ‘Gwastadnant’ which was wintery dark and contrasty with snow on the peaks and roofs. Most pleasing of all was to see a wonderfully textured portrait of an old London neighbour of the artist realise £19,000 against an estimate of £7,000-10,000. (7,8,9) John Elwyn’s style is very different to Sir Kyffin but just as dramatic and intriguing. His body of work is fabulously eclectic and his titles often interesting, for instance, ‘It Does Not Always Rain in Dyfed’. This was a large bright landscape featuring the artist’s signature whitewashed farm buildings and a complex tapestry of surrounding fields. The painting realised £11,000. (10) Donald McIntyre was a good friend of Sir Kyffin and is as perennially popular. McIntyre’s vivid acrylic work is in huge demand from collectors currently. The highest hammer price for McIntyre in the November Welsh Sale was for ‘Porth Cwyfan No. 7’, selling for £7,000. (11,12)

REVIEW Selections & Collections 6 November 2021 Lots: 150 Sold: 130 (86.6%) Total: £150,130 There were some sensational objects in the November auction. We were especially privileged to offer to market Wing Commander Rex Sanders’ medal group which includes his Distinguished Flying Cross. Sanders was the extraordinary navigator of secret RAF missions over the Soviet Union in the 1950s. The medals were sold after his death at his request and the family were delighted with the result of £16,000. (13)

Other highlights included a one owner collection of prints by Bob Dylan removed from a salubrious Mayfair apartment, which realized £26,900 in total. (14) There were also good prices for a statement limited edition art piece by surrealists Gilbert & George and a rare Chinese ceramic dragon dish. And of course the ubiquitous prestige watches and jewellery. (15,16,17)

The View / Bwrw Golwg • Rogers Jones & Co Mae’r term crochenwaith Ewenni’n cyfeirio at ffynonellau cynhyrchu gwasgaredig ym mhlwyf Ewenni a’r cyffiniau ger Penybont-ar-Ogwr, yn hytrach nag un crochendy penodol. Mae’r ardal yn gysylltiedig â chynhyrchu crochenwaith ers canrifoedd. Credir bod crochenwaith wedi bod yn cael ei gynhyrchu yn yr ardal mor bell yn ôl â’r Canoloesoedd, gan fod nifer o aneddiadau hanesyddol yn yr ardal a fyddai wedi bod yn farchnad barod i’r crochenwyr. Yn sicr, mae tystiolaeth ddogfennol o gynhyrchu crochenwaith yn y bymthegfed ganrif. Serch hynny, dim ond o flynyddoedd cynnar y ddeunawfed ganrif y ceir cofnod iawn o’r gwaith cynhyrchu, ac o’r cyfnod hwn y gellir ei ystyried yn ddiwydiant, a hynny’n ddiwydiant bach. Ceir tystiolaeth bod deuddeg busnes crochenwaith bach wedi bod yn weithredol ar ddechrau’r ddeunawfed ganrif. Erbyn diwedd y ganrif honno, tyfodd y galw wrth i ddiwydiannau lleol ehangu yn ystod y chwyldro diwydiannol ac o ganlyniad i dwf yn y boblogaeth leol.

Printiau a Gweithiau ar Bapur

ADOLYGIAD Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig 6 Tachwedd 2021 Lotiau: 496 Gwerthwyd: 451 (90.9%) Cyfanswm: £499,020 (record ar gyfer Arwerthiant Cymreig) Hen Bethau Cymreig a Crochenwaith Cymreig Dechreuodd Arwerthiant Cymreig olaf 2021 y mis Tachwedd gyda 100 o lotiau o grochenwaith a phorslen Cymreig diddorol. Crochenwaith Ewenni wnaeth ffurfio’r penawdau y tro hwn, gyda’r llestr gwasael Ewenni (1) yn dod i’r brig ac yn gwerthu am £6,400 o’i amcan-bris o £2,000-3,000 ac fe aeth parot Ewenni am bris morthwyl o £1,300 o’r amcan-bris o £200-300. (2)

Syr Kyffin Williams oedd seren y sioe yn y ddwy adran hon. Cofnodwyd y pris morthwyl uchaf erioed am un o brintiau Kyffin, sef £2,600 ac fe werthodd gwaith ar bapur am £18,000. Golygfa gyfarwydd o raeadr oedd y print leino, ond roedd y fformat yn fwy nag arfer, ac roedd y cyn-berchennog wedi ei osod mewn ffrâm Bourlet o ansawdd uchel. Serch hynny, roedd cynnwrf mawr yn y dyfroedd wrth i’r rhaeadr werthu am £2,600, gan ddangos cryfder y farchnad ar hyn o bryd am ‘brintiau Kyffin’. (3) Roedd y gwaith ar bapur o grŵp o geffylau yn yr eira yn destun brwydr arwerthiant hen ffasiwn dda rhwng cynigydd ar y ffôn a chynigydd ar y we. Arhosodd y cynigydd ar y ffôn yn y cyfrwy ac mae’r darlun wedi cael cartref yn stablau casgliad preifat yng ngorllewin Cymru. (4) Cafwyd prisiau nodedig yn yr adran hon am weithiau gan yr arlunydd bythol boblogaidd o Sir Gaernarfon, William Selwyn. Ganed William Selwyn yng Nghaernarfon, ac wedi iddo gwblhau ei Wasanaeth Cenedlaethol ym 1954, aeth i’r Coleg Normal ym Mangor ac yna aeth yn athro celf mewn dwy ysgol yng Nghaernarfon - Ysgol Gynradd Maesincla ac Ysgol Gyfun Syr Hugh Owen. Ymddeolodd William o’i waith fel athro ym 1990 a dechreuodd baentio’n llawn-amser. Mae’n fwyaf adnabyddus fel arlunydd dyfrlliwiau ac mae ei arddull wedi’i nodweddu â golchiadau paent atmosfferig sy’n atgoffa llawer o bobl o olygfeydd cythryblus JMW Turner, ac yn yr un modd, mae ei dirluniau yn aml yn ymgorffori’r tywydd yn elfen bwysig o’r llun, ac mae darlunio symudiad yn allweddol yn ei ddehongliad

Rogers Jones & Co • The View / Bwrw Golwg Y pris gorau wedyn ar y diwrnod oedd y £40,000 a roddwyd am ‘Storm ym Mhenmon’ Kyffin a oedd yn ddarlun cynfas mawr a dramatig arall o Ynys Môn; yn drydydd, roedd darlun ar ffurf portread o bentref yn dwyn y teitl ‘Gwastadnant’ a oedd yn aeafol o dywyll a chyferbyniol gydag eira ar y copaon a’r toeau. Yr hyn a roddodd fwyaf o foddhad oedd gweld portread â gwead hyfryd o hen gymydog i’r arlunydd yn Llundain yn gwerthu am £19,000 o amcan-bris o £7,000-10,000. (7,8,9) Mae arddull John Elwyn yn wahanol iawn i Syr Kyffin Williams ond mae yr un mor ddramatig a chyfareddol. Mae ei gasgliad o weithiau yn fendigedig o eclectig a’i deitlau’n aml yn rhai diddorol, er enghraifft, ‘It Does Not Always Rain in Dyfed’. Tirlun mawr llachar oedd hwn gydag adeiladau fferm gwyngalchog nodweddiadol yr arlunydd a thapestri cymhleth o gaeau o’u cwmpas. Gwerthodd y darlun am £11,000. (10) Roedd Donald McIntyre yn gyfaill da i Syr Kyffin Williams ac mae yntau hefyd yn fythol boblogaidd. Mae galw aruthrol am waith acrylig disglair McIntyre ymhlith casglwyr ar hyn o bryd. Y pris morthwyl uchaf ar gyfer McIntyre yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Tachwedd oedd £7,000 am ‘Porth Cwyfan Rhif 7’. (11,12)

13 o ffigurau. Roedd Lot 300, a werthodd am £3,700 o amcan-bris o £1,000-£1,200, yn un darlun o’r fath, gyda ffermwr yn sefyll ac yn destun edmygedd ei gi defaid ffyddlon. (5)

Paentiadau olew Parhaodd y farchnad anhygoel am weithiau Syr Kyffin Williams yn yr adran olew gyda phump o baentiadau gwych gan Syr Kyffin yn canfod cartrefi newydd. Cafwyd pris morthwyl uchaf y dydd am y paentiad olew o donnau yn Llangwyfan, sef £48,000. Mae machlud a moroedd dramatig o’r fath yn sicr ar frig y rhestr y mae galw amdanynt ymhlith gweithiau Syr Kyffin Williams. (6)

ADOLYGIAD Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau 6 Tachwedd 2021

Lotiau: 150 Gwerthwyd: 130 (86.6%) Cyfanswm: £150,130 Roedd ambell i eitem syfrdanol yn arwerthiant mis Tachwedd. Roedd yn fraint arbennig i ni gael cynnig casgliad medalau Yr Asgell-Gomander Rex Sanders i’r farchnad, gan gynnwys ei Fedal Hedfan Nodedig. Roedd Sanders yn llywiwr anhygoel ar gyrchoedd cyfrinachol gan yr Awyrlu dros yr Undeb Sofietaidd yn yr 1950au. Gwerthwyd y medalau yn dilyn ei farwolaeth yn unol â’i ddymuniad ac roedd y teulu wrth eu boddau â’r canlyniad o £16,000. (13) Ymhlith yr uchafbwyntiau eraill, roedd casgliad un perchennog o brintiau gan Bob Dylan a gafwyd o fflat foethus yn Mayfair, a werthodd am gyfanswm o £26,900. (14) Cafwyd prisiau da hefyd am ddarn celf trawiadol o nifer cyfyngedig gan y swrealwyr Gilbert a George a llestr draig seramig Tsieineaidd prin. Ac wrth gwrs, roedd yna’r oriorau a gemwaith o fri fel arfer. (15,16,17)

Swansea Etruscan was created by Lewis Llewelyn Dilwyn at the Cambrian Pottery to adorn ‘humble homesteads’ at cheap prices. Dillwyn hoped that the Classical designs would be aspirational to the masses. This less wealthy class of consumer was seen as an untapped market. Using moulds, the potters, painters, and printers reproduced the canonical Greek shapes, the aryballos, oinochoe, kylix, pyxis, pelike and so forth. They were decorated with scenes of Greek mythology to include Odysseus, Poseidon, Zeus, Hera and Helios. (21) But the Etruscan brand failed as the miners and the working classes did not buy-in to Dillwyn’s aspirational pottery as wages were too hard earned. Therefore, the venture was short-lived and over a century and a half later, Swansea Etruscan is rarely seen in abundance aside from at the National Museum of Wales or an infrequent appearance at auction. There have certainly never been ten items of Swansea Etruscan in an auction in modern times. We are also delighted to offer at the end of the Wednesday session of The Welsh Sale over 120 books from one Wales’ most prominent book people.

PREVIEW The Welsh Sale

For the last 50 years Jeff Towns has been buying and selling books and for years he was based in his Dylans Bookstore in Swansea’s poetically named Salubrious Passage. But he also took his stock out to many Eisteddfodau around Wales and to Antiquarian Book Fairs around the UK and across the United States. His main area of specialisation was all things Welsh – from Dylan Thomas to Dafydd Ap Gwilym and from Owen Glyndwr to R.S. Thomas and from the Mabinogion to the Rebecca Riots!

Session I: Pictures Saturday 12 March

He is not quite finished with books, but spends more time reading and writing them, and so he feels the time is right to offer for sale some highlights from the collection he has amassed with us in this Welsh Sale.

Again, we are blessed with superb entries by Wales’ favourite artist, Sir Kyffin Williams, this time with six oils in the auction. But aside from Sir Kyffin there really is plenty of fine art to choose from. There is a single owner collection of Neath related paintings which I am very pleased to be instructed to sell. Each painting is by notable 19th or 18th century landscape artists, and it will be very interesting how such a collection of paintings focused on a single region of Wales performs. Certainly, the pre-auction interest has been promising.

Jeff’s large consignment of books is complemented by a selection of fine Neath related antiquarian books and a consignment of Gregynog books which have reached us from Los Angeles.

The stalwarts of The Welsh Sale are represented by many highquality works too. There are stunningly colourful works by John Elwyn and Donald McIntyre. While in contrast to these is a superb large piece by John Knapp Fisher entitled ‘Small Holding’. Donald McIntyre takes a bow at the end of the Saturday auction with seven fabulous lots. (18)

Session II: Welsh Porcelain, Welsh Antiques & Books Wednesday 16 March The first Welsh Sale of 2022 comes with a second session on the Wednesday and with a splendid section of Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain. Three collections have come together, including a large entry from a home in Neath-Port Talbot, a collection from Powys and four important items from the descendants of B A Williams who is credited in W D John’s ‘Swansea Album’. One of these items is a likely unique Thomas Pardoe painted coffee-can, which features the inscription ‘Mamma’s Darling’. Personally decorated Welsh porcelain items of this nature are rarely seen. It is a small but wonderful object. The highlight of the section has got to be the Nantgarw cabinet cups with a decoration that will surely make your heart sing. (19,20) From the same property as the Neath paintings mentioned earlier, is a collection of Swansea Etruscan pottery, a range which is rarely seen on the market. 10

RHAGOLWG Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig Sesiwn I: Darluniau Dydd Sadwrn 12 Mawrth Unwaith eto, rydym yn freintiedig i gael darnau gwych gan hoff artist Cymru, Syr Kyffin Williams, gyda chwe darlun olew yn yr arwerthiant y tro yma. Ond yn ogystal â Syr Kyffin, mae digon o ddewis o weithiau celf gain. Mae gennym gasgliad un perchennog o baentiadau sy’n gysylltiedig â Chastell-nedd ac rwyf wrth fy modd yn cael gwerthu’r rhain. Mae pob un o’r paentiadau gan arlunydd tirlun nodedig o’r 19eg neu’r 18fed ganrif, a bydd yn ddiddorol iawn gweld sut aiff pethau gyda chasgliad o’r fath o baentiadau sy’n canolbwyntio ar un rhan o Gymru. Yn sicr, mae’r diddordeb a fu cyn yr arwerthiant yn addawol.

Mae nifer o weithiau hefyd gan hoelion wyth yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Mae yma waith trawiadol o liwgar gan John Elwyn a Donald McIntyre. Ac yn gyferbyniad â hynny, mae darn mawr ardderchog gan John Knapp Fisher sydd â’r teitl ‘Small Holding’. Bydd Donald McIntyre yn cael ei le ar y llwyfan ar ddiwedd arwerthiant dydd Sadwrn gyda saith eitem ragorol. (18)

Sesiwn II: Porslen Cymreig, Hen Bethau a Llyfrau Cymreig Dydd Mercher 16 Mawrth Ar gyfer Arwerthiant Cymreig cyntaf 2022, mae ail sesiwn ddydd Mercher gydag adran hyfryd o borslen Nantgarw ac Abertawe. Mae tri chasgliad wedi eu dwyn ynghyd, gan gynnwys cynigion helaeth o gartref yng Nghastell-nedd Port Talbot, casgliad o Bowys a phedair eitem bwysig gan ddisgynyddion B A Williams sy’n cael sylw yn ‘Albwm Abertawe’ W D John. Un o’r eitemau hyn ydy can coffi paentiedig gan Thomas Pardoe sy’n debygol o fod yn unigryw ac sy’n dwyn yr arysgrif ‘Mamma’s Darling’. Prin iawn y gwelir eitemau o borslen Cymreig wedi’u haddurno’n bersonol fel hyn. Mae’n ddarn bach ond bendigedig.

Rydym wrth ein boddau hefyd cael cynnig dros 120 o lyfrau gan un o bobl llyfrau amlycaf Cymru ar ddiwedd sesiwn dydd Mercher yr Arwerthiant Cymreig. Dros y 50 mlynedd diwethaf, mae Jeff Towns wedi bod yn prynu a gwerthu llyfrau ac am flynyddoedd, bu’n gweithio yn ei siop Dylan’s Bookstore ar y lôn â’r enw barddonol Salubrious Passage. Ond aeth â’i gasgliad hefyd i nifer o Eisteddfodau o gwmpas Cymru ac i Ffeiriau Hen Lyfrau o gwmpas y Deyrnas Unedig ac ar draws yr Unol Daleithiau. Roedd yn arbenigo’n bennaf ar bethau Cymreig – o Dylan Thomas i Dafydd ap Gwilym ac o Owain Glyndŵr i R.S. Thomas ac o’r Mabinogi i Derfysgoedd Beca! Nid yw wedi rhoi’r gorau yn llwyr i’w lyfrau, ond mae’n treulio mwy o amser yn eu darllen a’u hysgrifennu, felly mae’n teimlo bod yr amser wedi dod i gynnig rhai o’r uchafbwyntiau o’i gasgliad yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig gyda ni. Ochr yn ochr â chynnig helaeth Jeff o ran llyfrau, mae detholiad o hen lyfrau sy’n gysylltiedig â Chastell-nedd a chasgliad o lyfrau Gregynog sydd wedi dod atom o Los Angeles.

O’r un eiddo â’r paentiadau Castell-nedd y cyfeiriwyd atynt eisoes, mae casgliad o grochenwaith Etrwsgaidd Abertawe - cyfres sy’n brin iawn ar y farchnad. Crëwyd crochenwaith Etrwsgaidd Abertawe gan Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn yng Nghrochendy Cambrian i addurno ‘aelwydydd gwerinol’ am brisiau rhad. Roedd Dillwyn yn gobeithio y byddai’r cynlluniau clasurol yn apelio at drwch y boblogaeth. Roedd prynwyr llai goludog yn cael eu hystyried yn farchnad nad oedd wedi’i hagor. Gan ddefnyddio mowldiau, byddai’r crochenwyr, y peintwyr a’r argraffwyr yn ail-greu’r siapiau Groegaidd clasurol, yr aryballos, oinochoe, kylix, pyxis, pelike ac ati. Roeddent wedi’u haddurno â golygfeydd o fytholeg Roegaidd gan gynnwys Odysseus, Poseidon, Zeus, Hera a Helios. Ond methu fu hanes y brand Etrwsgaidd oherwydd na ddenwyd y glowyr a’r dosbarth gweithiol at grochenwaith Dillwyn gan eu bod yn gweithio’n rhy galed am eu cyflog prin. Ni pharodd y fenter yn hir felly, a thros ganrif a hanner yn ddiweddarach, prin iawn y gwelir llestri Etrwsgaidd Abertawe oddi allan i Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru neu ambell i ymddangosiad anfynych mewn arwerthiannau. Yn sicr ni fu deg eitem o lestri Etrwsgaidd Abertawe mewn arwerthiant yn y cyfnod modern.

PREVIEW Selections & Collections 16 March The Selections & Collections auction is once again brimming with quality and intrigue. There are once again strong entries of prestige watches including Rolex, Breitling, and Tag. There is wonderful diamond jewellery including a radiant 3.2ct diamond solitaire ring. Other intriguing entries include a rare, numbered copy of James Joyce’s Ulysses which is one of only 900 copies. It is exactly a century since the brilliance of Ulysses was first published. (22,23) We are also offering our first Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1995) piece at Rogers Jones & Co. Born in Vienna in 1902, Lucie Rie grew up in an environment steeped in the style and elegance of Viennese Modernism, she enrolled at art school in Vienna, in 1922 which is where she learnt to throw clay. Rie also developed a scientific understanding and fascination with glazes – something which stayed with her throughout her life. Rie established a name for herself on the continent, winning prizes for her work at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1937 but following the union of Austria with Nazi Germany she fled Vienna and, together with her husband, arrived in London. During her lifetime Rie’s work was celebrated extensively, from the 1951 Festival of Britain Exhibition, through to major retrospectives in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, London’s Victoria & Albert Museum. (24) Also within the realm of ceramics is a Daisy Makieg Jones for Wedgwood vase, a fascinating single owner collection of earlier English pottery and a rare Canton famille rose service.

RHAGOLWG Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau 16 Mawrth Mae’r arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau yn orlawn unwaith eto gydag eitemau o ansawdd sy’n denu chwilfrydedd. Mae yma gynigion cryf eto o oriorau o fri gan gynnwys Rolex, Breitling, a Tag. Ceir gemwaith diemwntau bendigedig, gan gynnwys modrwy un diemwnt 3.2ct godidog. Ymhlith y cynigion diddorol eraill, mae copi prin wedi’i rifo o Ulysses James Joyce sy’n un o blith 900 copi yn unig. Mae’n ganrif union ers i gampwaith Ulysses gael ei gyhoeddi gyntaf. (22,23) Rydym yn cynnig ein darn cyntaf gan Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1995) yn Rogers Jones & Co hefyd. Ganed Lucie Rie yn Fienna ym 1902 a chafodd ei magu mewn amgylchedd wedi’i drwytho yn arddull a cheinder Moderniaeth Fiennaidd; ymrestrodd mewn ysgol gelf yn Fienna ym 1922, ac yno y dysgodd sut i drin clai. Datblygodd Rie ddealltwriaeth wyddonol hefyd yn ogystal â diddordeb mawr mewn gwydrin – diddordeb a oedd gyda hi drwy gydol ei bywyd. Gwnaeth Rie enw iddi’i hun ar y cyfandir, gan ennill gwobrau am ei gwaith yn yr Arddangosfa Ryngwladol ym Mharis ym 1937, ond yn dilyn uno Awstria â’r Almaen Natsïaidd, dihangodd o Fienna a daeth i Lundain gyda’i gŵr. Yn ystod ei bywyd, roedd bri mawr i waith Rie, o Arddangosfa Gŵyl Prydain 1951, i arddangosfeydd ôl-syllol mawr yn Amgueddfa Gelf Fetropolitan Efrog Newydd ac Amgueddfa Victoria ac Albert yn Llundain. Cafodd gryn lwyddiant masnachol hefyd. (24) Ym maes serameg hefyd, mae fâs Daisy Makieg Jones i Wedgewood, casgliad un perchennog hynod o grochenwaith Seisnig cynnar a set lestri Canton Famille Rose brin.

SPOTLIGHT ON NEATH: ANCIENT ABBEY, BEAUTIFUL WATERFALLS & INDUSTRY GOLWG AR GASTELL-NEDD: ABATY HYNAFOL, RHAEADRAU PRYDFERTH A DIWYDIANT

To commence this Welsh Sale auction on Saturday March 12th, we are delighted to offer a collection of over thirty 19th and 18th Century landscape paintings relating to the Neath Valley. The single owner collection is from a deceased estate in NeathPort Talbot and brings together some highly regarded names in topographical painting.

I ddechrau’r Arwerthiant Cymreig ddydd Sadwrn Mawrth 12fed, rydym wrth ein bodd yn cael cynnig casgliad o dros ddeg ar hugain o baentiadau tirlun o’r 19eg a’r 18fed Ganrif sy’n gysylltiedig â Chastell-nedd. Mae’r casgliad un perchennog yn dod o ystâd ymadawedig yng Nghastell-nedd Port Talbot ac mae’n dwyn ynghyd nifer o enwau o fri ym maes paentio tirffurfiau.

The collection presents a super opportunity for collectors, perhaps in Neath or further afield, to purchase historic landscapes of a location which has an important industrial history, whilst also being an area of outstanding beauty.

Mae’r casgliad yn rhoi cyfle gwych i gasglwyr, yng Nghastell-nedd neu ymhellach i ffwrdd, i brynu tirluniau hanesyddol o leoliad sydd â hanes diwydiannol pwysig, yn ogystal â bod yn ardal o harddwch eithriadol.

Neath has a port designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and is the site of the oldest iron works in Wales. In addition, since the 18th Century Neath has been appreciated by artists for its dramatic and wild landscape.

Mae gan Gastell-nedd borthladd a gynlluniwyd gan Isambard Kingdom Brunel a dyma safle gwaith haearn hynaf Cymru. Yn ogystal, ers y 18fed Ganrif, mae Castell-nedd wedi ennyn gwerthfawrogiad artistiaid oherwydd ei thirwedd wyllt a dramatig.

A scene which was often observed by artists and is repeated in this collection is the ruins of Neath Abbey.

Golygfa a ddarluniwyd yn aml gan artistiaid ac sydd i’w gweld sawl gwaith yn y casgliad hwn ydy olion Abaty Nedd.

Along with Llanthony Priory and Tintern Abbey, the ruins of Neath Abbey are the most important and impressive monastic remains in south-east Wales. Founded in 1130 by Norman knight Sir Richard de Granville, by the late 13th century it had become one of Wales’ wealthiest abbeys. Around 50 monks lived here, alongside an even larger number of lay brothers who worked at the abbey’s estates, on tasks which probably included, mining coal for domestic use. Much later, the heavy hand of the Industrial Revolution was almost its downfall, the abbey became a copper smelting plant with furnaces, workshops, and workers’ dwellings, and had an ironworks as its next-door neighbour.

Ynghyd â Phriordy Llanddewi Nant Hodni ac Abaty Tyndyrn, adfeilion Abaty Nedd ydy’r olion mynachlog pwysicaf a mwyaf trawiadol yn ne-ddwyrain Cymru. Fe’i sefydlwyd ym 1130 gan y marchog Normanaidd Syr Richard de Granville, ac erbyn diwedd y 13eg ganrif, roedd yn un o abatai cyfoethocaf Cymru. Roedd tua 50 o fynachod yn byw yma, ynghyd â rhagor o frodyr lleyg yn gweithio ar ystadau’r abaty, ar dasgau a oedd fwy na thebyg yn cynnwys cloddio am lo i’w ddefnyddio ar yr aelwyd. Ganrifoedd yn ddiweddarach, bu llaw drom y Chwyldro Diwydiannol bron yn ddigon i’w ddifa; daeth yr abaty yn waith mwyndoddi copr gyda ffwrneisi, gweithdai a thrigfannau gweithwyr, ac roedd gwaith haearn y drws nesaf.

Another location which is repeated in the collection is Aberdulais Mill which was occupied by William Weston Young - one of the artists featured in the collection, and an important figure in the history of Welsh fine art. Aberdulais Mill was painted by JMW Turner in circa 1796 with the painting now in the national collection at The National Library of Wales. The valley from Neath up to the edge of the Brecon Beacons is also renowned for its string of impressive waterfalls and caves. It has inspired many other exceptional artists other than Turner, especially those touring in the 18th and 19th Century such as John Warwick Smith, Penry Williams and Thomas Hornor. Many of the artists in this collection originated in Bristol which was an important shipping city and where an artist’s education could be received. The Vale of Neath acted as a convenient place of pilgrim for many Bristolian artists.

Lleoliad arall sydd i’w weld sawl gwaith yn y casgliad ydy Melin Aberdulais, lle bu’r arlunydd William Weston - un o’r artistiaid a gynhwysir yn y casgliad hwn, a ffigur pwysig yn hanes celf gain Gymreig, yn preswylio. Paentiwyd Melin Aberdulais gan JMW Turner tua 1796 ac mae’r darlun hwnnw bellach yn y casgliad cenedlaethol yn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru. Mae’r dyffryn o Gastell-nedd hyd at ffiniau Bannau Brycheiniog yn adnabyddus hefyd am ei lu o sgydau neu raeadrau ac ogofâu trawiadol. Mae wedi ysbrydoli nifer o artistiaid eithriadol eraill yn ogystal â Turner, yn enwedig y rhai a oedd yn teithio yn y 18fed a’r 19eg Ganrif megis John Warwick Smith, Penry Williams a Thomas Hornor. Roedd llawer o’r artistiaid yn y casgliad hwn yn hanu o Fryste, a oedd yn ddinas bwysig i’r diwydiant llongau a ble roedd modd i arlunwyr gael addysg. Roedd Dyffryn Nedd yn gyrchfan pererindota cyfleus i nifer o arlunwyr Bryste. 13

About: we phone you a few minutes prior to the lot you have booked a phone line on. Our operator will communicate the price and ask whether you want to bid.

About: commission bids are when you leave us your highest price to bid on your behalf. We will bid up to your price(s) and you will win items if another bidder drops out before your maximum price. If there is no other bidder then you may win the item at the bottom estimate / reserve. Commission bids must be received by 4pm the day before the auction. We are not answering the phones on auction day! How: this can be done on our website by clicking on the lot(s) you are interested in and then clicking ‘REGISTER / LOG IN TO BID’. Or you can complete a copy of the bidding form at the back of this catalogue and send a clear image of the form to us by email.

In 1972, at the invitation of Thomas Phelan, Holloway spent six weeks in America where he was commissioned to produce twelve etched portraits and topographical watercolour drawings. He made return visits in the next three consecutive years to make drawings of nineteenth century industrial, commercial and municipal architecture of Troy at the head of the Hudson river…. Back in Ditchling he made etchings after some of the architectural watercolours of Troy’. (pp12-13)

Since the 1960s he has been an active book illustrator and poster artist. From 1969 and for nine years on he was a member of a group of artists called Røde Mor (Red Mother).

Born at Dolwar-fach farm, Llanfihangel yng Ngwynfa, north Powys. It is likely that she received some measure of education and that she was immersed in the local poetic traditions. The family was devout and regularly attended the local parish church. Gradually members of the family came under the influence of the evangelical or Methodist revival. During the mid 1790s Ann Griffiths experienced this spiritual revival and joined the Methodist society or seiat that met at Pontrobert. During this period she started composing rhymes and hymns which she would recite to Ruth Hughes, a maid on Dolwar-fach farm. Ruth memorised these works, and they were eventually published by her husband, John Hughes, Pontrobert. Following the death of her father early in 1804, Ann married, but in August 1805 after giving birth to a daughter who survived for only two weeks, she died and was buried in Llanfihangel cemetery. Sadly, Ann wrote down only a few of her poems.

Rogers Jones & Co

COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS These conditions of business for auctions held at our premises consist of: (1)

Information for Buyers;

(2)

Terms of Sale (for bidders and buyers).

(1) INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS 1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. 2. Methods of Payment. Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm within five working days following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent. We do not accept credit card payments. We are unable to accept debit-card payments when the card holder is not present. Cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away. 3. Collection and storage. All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm within five working days following the auctions in this catalogue. Absentee bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note the Terms of Sale concerning collection and storage. Items not removed in the timescale stated will be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £5 per lot per day may be charged (plus VAT). 4. Dispatch. We do not offer postage for lots sold at auction in this catalogue unless they can be packed within a Jiffy-bag. We can recommend agents who can undertake packing and postage. 5. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer. 6. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive. 7. Buyer’s Premium. The Welsh Sale: The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay 24% + VAT (28.8%) on all lots up to a hammer price of £14,999, 20% + VAT (24%) on all lots of a hammer price £15,000 and over, 15% + VAT (18%) on all lots of a hammer price £20,000 and over, 10% + VAT (12%) on all lots of

218

a hammer price £25,000 and over, 5% + VAT (6%) on all lots of a hammer price £30,000 and over on each purchased lot in the auctions contained within this catalogue. Selections & Collections: The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay 24% + VAT (28.8%) on all lots. In addition, VAT is charged on the premium (see below). 8. VAT. VAT is payable by the buyer on the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot. 9. Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite. EU & UK law states that the artist or artist’s estate are entitled to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with a ‡ symbol. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty. We will then pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf. The royalty applies if the hammer price of the lot is 1,000 euros (British Sterling equivalent) or more. The total royalty for any lot can not be more than 12,500 euros. The percentages are as follows: 4% up to 50,000 / 3% between 50,001 and 20,000. Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: 4%

Up to €50,000

€50,000.01 - 200,000

€200,000.01 - 350,000

0.5%

€350,000.01 - 500,000

0.25%

In excess of €500,000

Up to a maximum levy of €10,000 10. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale on our website and www.the-saleroom.com 11. Condition Reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. In many cases condition reports are stated in the catalogue description but this does not act as a guarantee that the report is factually correct and it must not be taken as guaranteed that items without condition reports stated in the description are free from issues, such as damage, restoration or other problems. 12. Electrical goods. These are sold as “objects” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. 13. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out: 1. whether an export licence is needed; and 2. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 14. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value

lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. 15. Absentee bidding. You may leave absentee bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute absentee bids as economically as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving absentee bids online via our website. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute absentee bids received after this time. 16. Telephone Bidding. If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for some lots at our discretion. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason. 17. Online Bidding.

14. Our liability to you

17. General

11.3 Please note that many of the Lots that you may bid on at our auction are second-hand.

14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction.

17.1 We may, acting reasonably, refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Conditions of Business. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it is obvious that it will happen or if at the time of the sale of the Lot, we, you and the Seller knew it might happen.

17.2 We act as an agent for our Sellers. The rights we have to claim against you for breach of these Terms of Sale may be used by either us, our employees or agents, or the Seller, its employees or agents, as appropriate. Other than as set out in this Clause, these Terms of Sale are between you and us and no other person will have any rights to enforce any of these Terms of Sale.

11.4 If a Lot is not second-hand and you purchase the Lot as a Consumer from a Seller that is a Trader, a number of additional terms may be implied by law in addition to the Seller’s warranties set out at Clause 11.1 (in particular under the Consumer Rights Act 2015). These Terms of Sale do not seek to exclude your rights under law as they relate to the sale of these Lots. 11.5 Save as expressly set out above, all other warranties, conditions or other terms which might have effect between the Seller and you, or us and you, or be implied or incorporated by statue, common law or otherwise are excluded. 12. Descriptions and condition 12.1 Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on: (a) information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and (ii) our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). 12.2 We will give you a number of opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. 12.3 Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion.

Lots are sold “as is” (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of second-hand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/ or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

You must read these terms carefully along with any glossary provided in our auction catalogues. 17.4 Each of the clauses of these Terms of Sale operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining clauses will remain in full force and effect. 17.5 We may change these Terms of Sale from time to time, without notice to you. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully, as they may be different from the last time you read them. 17.6 Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Sale, each of our rights and remedies are: (a) are in addition to and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies under these Terms of Sale or general law; and (b) may be waived only in writing and specifically. Delay in exercising or non-exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale is not a waiver of that or any other right. Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the British law and British courts.
